Moving and following an object

I have this Commando-kind of top down shooter in the works. I have two game objects: player and one enemy. When player goes beyond < -30 along the Z-axis, enemy moves between z -25.0 - -20.0. After that it should stay put and just start rotating, where ever the player moves, but now enemy lunges back to -25.0 and starts sideways along the X-axis :?

Here's the code:

Any suggestions?

 

No. He should move that distance (guy running to his post and then following the player) and nothing else. I've planned only having stationary or enemies, who move a little to keep it simple for now.

 

So I've edited this a couple of dozen times, asked some help and here's where I've come. However, Unity doesn't like, when I call a function when declaring a variable. How would I go tackling this?

Code (csharp):

1. var target : Transform;
2. var speed = 5;
3.  
4. function Update()
5. {
6.  
7. var player = gameObject.Find("Player");
8.     if (player.transform.position.z < -30)
9. {
10.         var enemy = gameObject.Find("Enemy");
11.         transform.Translate(0, 0, speed);
12.         enemy.transform.position.z = Mathf.Clamp(enemy.transform.position.z, -25.0,-20.0);
13. }
14. else if (Mathf.Approximately(enemy.transform.position.z, -20))
15. {
16.     transform.LookAt(target);
17. }
18.  
19. }

[/code]

 

I shouldn't answer if I'm not 100% certain this will work, but too bad for you, I will anyway

Try changing var player = gameObject.Find("Player"); to just player = gameObject.Find("Player"); and adding this at the top: var player : GameObject;

So you're not declaring it AND using the function at the same time.

You could also use private var player : GameObject; if you didn't want the var cluttering up the Inspector window.

 

What message is Unity giving you? Also, does "Player" change. If not, why not load it in Start()?
